So did he or didn't he say it? That's the $50,000 question this week.
McNabb yesterday downplayed the disagreement between he and Oliver and wouldn't commit to exactly what he did or didn't say.
According to Les Bowen, "Oliver has said she was surprised that McNabb denied her characterization of his remarks. Yesterday, McNabb seemed to want to play down their disagreement, while implying that whatever he might have said, he didn't understand it would be beamed to the Fox audience, with his named attached."
And, he then claimed that this "is over" and he's moved on to focus on the Saints game.
Then, why even address it? Rather than put the fire out, it's still raging on throughout the airwaves of talk radio.
I'd like to think there's a better than 75% chance McNabb will be back, but with this latest controversy I think it could spiral things to a bitter divorce.
I hope I'm wrong, because McNabb is the best QB for this organization right now. And, for those who yearn for Kolb to take over, you don't know what you're getting with him. I'd rather see them develop him over a few years rather than throw him to the wolves. Remember Kolb hasn't practiced with the first team offense at all this season. He'd essentially be a rookie next year.

Phils sign Jenkins
Whoo Hoo! Here's that splash we've been waiting for. It's like King Kong Bundy diving into a kiddy pool.
Ok-I'm exaggerating a tad bit there. They inked Geoff Jenkins to a two-year deal.
I didn't think the Phils should have signed him a month ago and don't think they should now.
He had his best seasons between 2003 and 2005 when he averaged 27 homers, 90 RBI, while batting over .290 in two of those seasons.
His numbers have fallen off precipitously in 2006 and 2007, when had 17 and 21 homers with just 70 and 64 RBI respectively in both seasons. And, he struck out 120 times both seasons. Added to that, his average dipped to .271 in ’06 and .255 in ’05. In other words, he’s a poor, poor, POOR man’s Pat Burrell.
Do the Phillies really need an unproductive bat in their lineup, and one with that many strikeouts? Their lineup is loaded with K's as it is.
But, the ownership could care less. They just want to get somebody on the cheap that they can trot out in right field.
And, the Phils also signed Chad Durbin, who'll compete for a spot in the rotation. He's a step up from Eaton.

Cole snubbed from Pro Bowl
Jevon Kearse's biggest contribution this season came in the form of the "snub" chant he led in the Eagles' lockeroom after Trent Cole was snubbed from the Pro Bowl.
Just how the hell can someone who's second in the NFL in sacks be left off the team?
The players need to stop having such a say in the voting process. They've obviously taken too many hits to their heads.
